Novelties for Fair Equestrienncs.

With the widespread revival of horse
back riding has come a number of
pretty brooches in suggestive patterns,
such as horseshoe. whip, saddle.
etc. English crops divide favor with
whips among the fair equestriennes.
Both whips and crops are out with
decorative handles that cannot fail to
attract universal admiration. Some
have fiat knob handles with etched or
namentation and oxidized finish; others
show a remarkably pleasing combina-
ton of silver and ivory. On some of
the handles the silver work is wrought
into artistic forms, while on others
smooth surface is etched in odd de-
signs.

Life saved By Canine sagacIty.

From the St. LOUIS GlODe-DeInOCraG
 Mir. James McNichol, of No. 1,509 Chest nut street, is the owner of probably the most remarkable dog in St. Louis. Money cannot buy Jack, for such is the canine hero's name, even Mrs McNichol, an invet- crate hater of dogs, having succumbed to the loyalty and intelligence displayed by the little Scotch terrier in saving from an awful and untimely end her niece and adop- ted child Belle. Belle is only twelve years old, and she and Jack have always been warm friends. Recently they met with an experience which neither of them is likely to forget, and which has elevated Jack to an enviable position among his kind. One day, when they were upstairs together, Belle had occasion to enter a clothes closet filled with shelves. There was just enough room between the entrance for her to stand erect, and while she was doing so Jack in a playful mood stood on his hind-legs, and with his fore paws on the door closed it tight The closet opened from the outside only, and in it, almost dramatically sealed, her outcries silenced to the inmates of the house, her danger known to no one but the dog, Belle was left to die in all the slow horrors of strangulation. But, endowed with reason almost human, though denied the gift of speech, the intelligent animal after some futile efforts at assistance trotted down the stairs till he found the old family servant, when he endeavored by every means possible to dog to attract her attention and induce her to follow him. At first she thought him mad, but finally concluded to see what he would do and started up stairs after him, Jack turning himself around and wagging his tail at every step. Upon reaching the closet his winnings and demon strations increased, and when it was opened Belle was found in an unconscious condition. In five minutes more she would have been dead, although she had with great presence of mind managed to turn around and apply her mouth to the keyhole.
 Jack was overcome with joy at the rescue and refused to be parted from Belle for some days, lying at her feet during meals, although he had never before been in the habit of en- tering the dining-room.
